When colorectal cancer spread to her liver, Minnesota native Mandy Wilk had a liver transplant. When it spread to her lungs, many health systems said they couldn’t help. Then, she came to Chicago for a life-saving double-lung transplant at Northwestern Memorial Hospital as part of the DREAM Program. Now she’s back to doing what she loves — running! http://ms.spr.ly/6044WkILr #NMBetter
